panels and things come off much more easily.)
Lift bolster up off lower hook.
REMOVING DRIVER'S SIDE CARPET to get at electrical raceways underneath
1. Remove hood release lever.
2. Pull back weather stripping around lower corner of front door.
3. Turn slotted plastic screw below lever 90 deg CW then remove right front side speaker grill.
4. Remove round screw knob holding down carpet near gas pedal.
5. I had a different style trim strip running the length of the door.
I pulled the rear of strip up and off the large plastic disk it was attached to, moved the back of
strip out then back down so that it was next to disk. I then slide the trim strip forward and off. It
took a second set of hands to get it back on.
GLOVEBOX REMOVAL
There was a ninth, 10 mm bolt under glove box light.
FUSEBOX CABLE CLAMP
Do not try to open it further per the instructions. You may lose one of the three screws you need to
remove down the sound insulation at the front the driver foot well. Instead, insert tape covered screw
driver and depress a space for cables at the side of the wire bundle passing through firewall.
TO REMOVE CENTER CONSOLE
First remove the glovebox. Then remove 3 screws forward and 1 plastic nut by shift lever.
WHEN INSTALLING REAR VENT WINDOW MOTORS
Tape inside top nut in place to help start its mounting bolt.
PLACING DUAL VENT WINDOW RELAY
U.S. knee protection blocks relays assigned place. Clip it on to a free space on the left front wall.
TERMINAL BLOCK ON FRONT LEFT WALL
Comes off by lifting straight up. When adding cables take care not loop cables coming down front wall.
POWER SUPPLY LINE (Stromversorgungskabelbaum)
Wire Da (Sw/Gn) to ZKE (behind glovebox) is too short and X13254 pin 19 already had a Sw/Gn wire
in it. Need to extend wire and splice into existing Sw/Gn wire.
